Topaz lead the way to the base which she explained was a prison for rebellious dragons against the Corrupted Darkness.
When you arrived Topaz wanted to accompany you inside.
"What why would I let you it's dangerous you could be captured or die." You said
"One of the dragons that helped is being held here so I want to at least free him." Topaz said,"Besides your record isn't the best so go figure." Topaz said," his name is Firestorm a mixture and forbidden breed of a fire and electric dragon who I promised would be pardoned if he helped me."
"There are laws prejudice against that?" You asked
"Yes," Topaz said
The two of you entered the fortress and you told Topaz to stand back if there was trouble af any sort. You took out some of the guards and interrogated the overseer who you then knocked out. You learned that Firestorm was being held in solitary confinement for being a forbidden breed. "There's too many guards here we should just get him and get out as fast as possible," you whispered. "What about you, you killed those me back there no problem." Topaz whispered back. "What about me? I'm worried about you not that I'm stereotypical or anything, but that was several enemies, and this is an entire fortress of soldiers trained for combat." You whispered.
You got to Firestorms cell and Topaz carefully unlocked it and found him lying there still alive. He got up and saw you and freaked out."What the Hell!" Firestorm roared as guards came rushing down to find you."God damn it!" You roared focusing your energy from your mark teleporting you all 5 miles away south.
"What happened?" Topaz asked
"Well when Firestorm reacted to my mark guards were alerted so I tried my best to get us all to safely, by teleporting us five miles south of the fortress." You said
"Well that's fine and dandy but what the your friends with him!? You do realize that he could destroy the entire world you know!" Firestorm yelled
"Why does everyone assume that I am an extremely bad dragon bent on the death and destruction of this world I can't even remember half the shit I did then, and I don't even know much about me now!" You roared
"Please, please stop fighting both of you, you're going to give away our position." Topaz said," Now I'm not saying that Cal'kar is good, but he's certainly not bad we can prove it at his temple."
"Actually I don't think we should go back there, they found us there beforehand and on top of that I spared one so there's that." You said, "just give me some time I remember something around here we can hide out in."
"Why should we trust you, you're the one who dragged a princess into a fortress filled with enemies, and you can destroy the world." Firestorm said
"Three things first off Topaz insisted that she came in and considering your reaction and our escape she would be in more danger alone than without me guarding her, on top of that and I mentioned this to Topaz I don't know the extent of my power, and if it really could destroy worlds and I wanted to destroy this one I would have done it by now, and finally I don't remember what I did to get sealed away but I'm willing to redeem myself, and get payback in the process on those stupid Corrected Darkness leaders for trying to siphon my energy so that they could become unstoppable." You said,"I remember another temple with the same layout somewhere just make sure nobody is watching us."
You found and opened the secret door to the temple and went inside, and it was exactly like the other one except it explained more about you having a different soul. The walls read,"the soul of another forced into a choice, so he chose to accept ritual over death to become one with a new life, and he is here now given a choice, Evil, Good, though his powers demonic he holds true to his word he is different from the first Cal'kar for the good."
You sighed in relief that this temple explained how you were different so that you could ally with Firestorm. "What does this even mean?" Firestorm asked
"Allow me to shine some light on this for you." You said proceeding to explain your situation. "Okay that's weirder than me considering that I'm half breed, but are you really different than the original?" Firestorm asked
"Well as I said I'm willing to help you two out, and I even killed some members back at the other temple I had, but besides that I don't really know except for the fact that I can recall memories from the original but still have my old ones, but it agh gives me a headache trying to differentiate between them it seems like that they're both mine but it's like having two memories in the same place and time, and the voice described me as bad too but it said I have a choice, and I want redemption for whatever I did." You said,"It's okay that you reacted the way you did and I anticipated it considering that the constant word that keeps popping up in these temples and memories, and of course that voice also said it was that I was feared so I fled the first chance I got getting out of that casket." You said yawning.
"What exactly are you capable of?" Firestorm asked
"Well I don't know the full extent but my mark seems to have demonic abilities, for example when the grunts attacked us my mark retaliated and I ended up devouring three of their souls which was unpleasant yet oddly satisfying, and I don't know why." You said and Topaz nodded," I'm tired after that little incident so I'm just going to sleep now." You said
"One last thing are you immortal?" Firestorm asked
"How long is the life expectancy of a dragon?" You responded
"About 1,000 years." Firestorm responded
"Then yes considering Topaz said that I was in that casket for over 5,000 years, but don't let that worry you I know that Immortality is nothing but a curse if you can't die then nothing excites you basically." You said falling asleep
